Description
Summary:Optical and electron microscopy have been used to study the structure and thermal degradation of fluoroplast films and coatings produced by vacuum condensation and powder caking. A change of the temperature at which the fluoroplast melt is heated in the 250–450°C range has been found to strongly affect the type of micro-structure present in the coating. The effect of the temperature of the support on the structure of the fluoroplast coatings has been examined. “In situ” electron-microscopy has been used to study the development of the structure in free fluoroplast films produced by vacuum condensation while heated in the microscopy column.
